Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⾭ has the Unicode code point U+2FAD. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+2FAD to binary:
00101111 10101101. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100010 10111110 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+2FAD, known as the "KANGXI RADICAL BLUE," holds a significant position in the realm of typography and digital text. As part of the Kangxi Radical, it serves as a crucial element in representing the Chinese characters that are based on this radical. The Kangxi Radical system is an important classification method for Chinese characters, organized into 540 radicals, with each radical representing a specific semantic or phonetic component used to create or modify existing characters. U+2FAD is particularly significant as it signifies the "Blue" category of these radicals in digital text, helping readers identify and understand the meaning behind various Chinese characters. The Kangxi Radical Blue (U+2FAD) character, while not widely recognized beyond typography circles, plays an essential role in maintaining cultural continuity and facilitating the accurate representation and understanding of classical Chinese texts in the digital age.
